Welcome to our 3rd Card of the Week Competition! For this week's competition I'm asking you to design a card for one of the following Magic: The Gathering game variants: Vanguard (Characters only), Archenemy (Schemes only), Planechase (Planes only), or Commander (preferrably Commanders, but multiplayer focused effects are acceptable if you design for Commander.) Rules (failure to follow the following will result in automatic disqualification): *) All entries should be in the following format (if you are unfamiliar with BBcode, click here): Quote: Name [COST] The rules are not optional. If you take a tl;dr (too long; didn't read) approach to them, then I take the same to your entry and will not include it in the poll. Please keep this in mind. Finally, a heads up to everyone, I will absolutely not request that you correct your entries this week. If you mess it up, it really isn't going to be included. No ands, ifs, or buts about it. This is your only warning. The entry deadline is 11:59PM CST 01/01/11. Voting will last 2 days after that due to the holidays. We will return to 1 day voting the following weekend. |






: ~ becomes a 5/5 creature and gains first strike and vigilance.
The Ninth Core
- Whenever you roll
, proliferate, proliferate, than proliferate again.
Plane-Phyrexia
When ever a planar die is rolled, its controller looses 1 life.
I dont think planes have a rarity so I put it on special.
Is this a typo?
A wide area of choice and possibilities. Maybe too wide for my liking, but I'll manage.
I swear I remember doing a Commander themed one recently, but I think I'll do that one... Dunno.
Bringer of Chaos





Legendary Creature - Avatar
Sacrifice a Plains: Target player gains 8 life. Any player may activate this ability.
Sacrifice an Island: Target player draws two cards. Any player may activate this ability.
Sacrifice a Swamp: All creatures get -2/-2 until end of turn. Any player may activate this ability.
Sacrifice a Mountain: Bringer of Chaos deals 3 damage to target creature or player. Any player may activate this ability.
Sacrifice a Forest: Destroy target nonland, noncreature permanent. Any player may activate this ability.
7/5
For multiplayer misfits. This could be fun to use, however I don't know if it would be useful, seeing as rainbow decks don't have too much basic land. What the hell...
Anuttymous the Gathering
It's moderatin' time
Ask me anything you need
No, it's not a typo. It's a suggestion, not a rule. If it continues to be a problem, then it will become a rule though. I'd hate to have it be one though, because I really don't want to disqualify someone for putting the cost of a card on a new line. :/ On the flip side, I don't want to have to spend an hour making the entries look alike so that users don't have to switch gears for every card they read while trying to vote.
I think it just might be a typo, A_F. Read carefully, word for word.
Edit: After looking at your post and the admin log, I'm not so sure. Maybe you had it right all along and NKoC re-typed it incorrectly. My bad.

Molder (At the beginning of your upkeep, you may sacrifice a permanent. If you do, return target permanent card from your graveyard to your hand.)
Murkvam is an underground cave world I'm designing. One of the regions is the green aligned Kanpi Reaches - basically, it's a great forest of mold and fungi with enourmous, blind fungal beasts between mushroom trees, dragging their way through the toadstools. Mechanically, everything in that world is recycled slowly, and everything actually acts like a Nature's Spiral, since it's mold growing and feeding on mold.
Also, yes, each instance stacks.
Exile
Plane-Exile (planes are always common)
At the beginning of your upkeep, exile target permanent or return target exiled permanent to the battlefield.
When you roll "Chaos Symbol", return target exiled permanent on top of its owner´s library.

COMMENTS: EDH, obviously; fairly strong but useful card filtering. The art would hopefully reflect an ancient librarian-scholar so buried in his books he can't even get up to fight.
Blood is thicker than water, but politics are even thicker than blood.
